Mark your calenders! Xbox Originals is going to get a heap of arcade-style racing madness with the release of Burnout 3: Takedown on January 14. As you've probably come to expect, you'll need 1200 Microsoft Points in your account before you can start destroying some driver-less cars.
Were we really expected to believe that these cars could navigate themselves? I like to think that they're really just robots in disguise, or are possibly even possessed by supernatural forces.
Whether you love Xbox Originals or hate it, you've got to admit that the idea behind it is good in theory. But so long as the games appearing on the service are backward compatible and can be found at cheaper prices elsewhere, I'm not completely sold ... yet.
You just never know what laziness and an insane craving for Crimson Skies can make a man do.

Also, Paradise LOOKS good but plays stupidly. Everything is the same damn color and I couldn't drive 10 seconds without crashing into something in the demo. Open world racing games are retarded. It'll be the first Burnout game I don't buy.
In the mean time, I'll wait it out until Paradise takes over my life.
makes for insane cravings indeed.
i'd do the same for some huge games too like morrowind and deus ex.
...
... yeah, I don't pay attention to those.
Umm, the cars in Burnout 3 all have drivers -- you can easily see them in the showroom.
-or-
go to bargain bin of the same store and find fable, crimson skies, and halo all for under $20, go home, insert game on xbox and start playing.
Remember Tekken 3 on the PS2? How it was so slow it was more like chess? This is a fighting game that is sooo much quicker. And the fighters are travelling at 130mph????????
Also, none of the others were widescreen.
Anyone? I don't want to be the guineepig.
I too have to also admit, i would of much rather seen burnout paradise with actual levels than just a huge world.
Oh well, I'll rent it first.
the good old Burnout 3 that is closest to my heart or the new Paradise that feels kind of like hell to me? :-)
Or possibly some sort of ploy to get you to buy, I mean - allow Microsoft to eat your first borns, again.
- sorry, was going to state the obvious but, it was obvious.
Anyhow, I shall get Paradise and I challenge anyone to a race!
